Have you tried "dhcpcd wlan0"?  I think that's the dhcp client slackware uses.  
Try "locate dhcp | grep bin" to find one.  If you have a stock installation, 
it'll find it.  To make things more automatic, you'll want to integrate 
loading & unloading your at76c503 modules (physical & datalink layer) with 
your dhcp client initialization (network layer).  I've attached the script I 
use to manage my NIC--you'll want to remove the ifconfig and route 
statements.  Use your rc.network, or whatever Slackware calls it, as a 
template for this modification.

Alternatively, you can find/write a script which hotplug calls upon USB 
connect.  I can't help you with this one.  Perhaps someone with a working 
hotplug setup would care to share their config?


Cheers,
Nick

P.S.  Also attached is a big NIC + network services script.  It makes things 
easier for BSD-like init systems.
